Thursday Throwback – 23

Join me for a Thursday Throwback as we explore the peaceful shopping experience on Kerkstraat in Berkel en Rodenrijs.

This week I’m keeping us in my original home country of the Netherlands. After moving to the United States most of my visits were more packed with family visits than time to relax and enjoy the simple aspects of daily life. In today’s post there’s one of those moments, where I did get that time.

Here’s a simple walk down Kerkstraat…

‘Shopping on Kerkstraat (Church street)’ is a relaxed pace view of life in the town of Berkel en Rodenrijs. Doing our shopping for groceries, figuring out today’s dinner and maybe stopping at the café for a cup of coffee. It’s a pace that is bit more relaxing than rushing through a supermarket!

I hope your day brings you some relaxing moments!

I was born in Rotterdam, and lived there for about half my time in the Netherlands. The other town that I lived in is Berkel en Rodenrijs. 

Today, as I did a quick bit of shopping, I took this photo of one of the main shopping streets in town.

A great place to get your groceries and just about everything else you might need.
